  • Product Notes#2: Getting an App Ready for Feedback

    Over the next two weeks of vibe-coding the calisthenics app, I completed three additional screens:

    1. Combos – where users can learn complex skills and capture their achievements
    2. Timeline – showing exercise achievements and a weekly summary
    3. Spots – a global map of places where you can train

    Tweaking the Spots feature turned out to be the most challenging part. It required integration with a third-party mapping service and depended heavily on browser permissions.

    While everything worked fine on the desktop, I couldn’t test the Geolocation features properly without a secure context (HTTPS) on mobile. That made it difficult to properly test the app while staying in Lovable’s preview mode.

    Another downside of preview mode was that, even though I was building a mobile-first experience, the browser address bar was still visible and took up valuable screen space.

    At that point, it became clear that I needed to migrate the app to a different setup.

    You probably remember the moment when your favorite social media app introduced a For You tab.
